7 on 7 State Championship Division II Pool Breakdown (Pools A - D)
July 7, 2009
Here are the Division II State Championship pool breakdowns with stats, key players and of course my predictions. (POOLs A - D)
Pool A: Anahuac, Brownwood, McGregor, Rice Consolidated
Anahuac and McGregor are both making their first appearance. Anahuac will be led by SOPH DB Justin Albritton and WR Braxton Mayes while McGregor will counter with WR Peyton Fisk and DB Cruz Chaires. Rice Consolidated who made it to the Quarterfinals last year will feature the pass/catch duo of QB Myles Dumont (2092 yards passing in 2008) and WR Mario Hull). Brownwood has been coming to the state tournament for years now with the Division I teams (10th consecutive appearances). They made it to the Semifinals last year in the Division II tournament and are the only 3A team in this pool. They will be led by new teammate WR Jaxon Shipley (919 yards receiving with Coppell in 2008). You have to go with the veteran 7 on 7 teams here.
Mike’s Picks: 1. Brownwood 2. Rice Consolidated 3. Anahuac 4. McGregor
Pool B: Bandera, Celina, Hitchcock, West
All four of these teams have qualified for the Division II state tournament all 3 years. Bandera is making their 5th overall and 5th consecutive appearance. Their QB Cole Hubble (2091 yrds passing in 2008) will be throwing to his favorite WR Cisco Ruiz (874 yards receiving in 2008) while the defense will be led by DB Zach Young. Celina won the Division I State Championship in 2000 and then won the first ever Division II State Championship in 2007. This will be their 8th overall appearance. They made the 1999 DI Quarterfinals and the Quarterfinals last year in Division II. QB Cody Worrell will lead the offense and LB Caleb Lavey (Committed to Oklahoma State Top 15 OLB in the Nation) will lead the defense. Hitchcock is the only 2A school in this pool. They will be led by QB Morris Tuck (2055 yards passing), RB/LB Darius Dotson and WR Dvante Provost. West rounds out the pool with athletes like QB Kelvin Anthony and RB Cody Aycock. You cant bet against Celina!!
Mike’s Picks: 1. Celina 2. Bandera 3. Hitchcock 4. West
Pool C: Burnet, Lovejoy, Palacios, Whitney
All 4 of these teams are in 3A. Burnet is making thier 4th overall appearance at the state tournament but only their first in Division II. They made it to the 2002 DI Quarterfinals and were the 2003 DI Runner Ups. Their key players will be QB Dillon Chafin (1925 yards passing in 2008) and DB Josh Barrera. Lovejoy is in their 2nd varsity season and will be making their 2nd consecutive appearance in the state tournament. A couple of juniors headline this team. JR RB Blake Martin (1533 yards rushing in 2008) and Jr QB Michael Means. WR Hayden Marsh will also provide Senior help. Whitney is making their 1st appearance led by a Sophomore QB (Dillon Hightower). His key targets will be WR Chris Gipson and WR Colton Galleway. Palacios will be making their 2nd overall appearance. Burnet is back!!
Mike’s Picks: 1. Burnet 2. Lovejoy 3. Whitney 4. Palacios
Pool D: Cameron Yoe, Edna, Graham, Melissa
This will be Cameron Yoe 2nd appearance but the first since 2002. They will be bringing a good group of athletes in QB Steven Townsend (1671 yards passing in 2008), RB James Wells, WR Brandon Freeman and LB Trevion Sims. Edna will be making their 1st appearance and their hopes will be in the hands of QB Kam Jones. Graham is making their 3rd overall appearance and they will have lots of star power. QB Case McCoy (2226 yards passing in 2008), who is Colts brother and is also committed to Texas will lead the way. Other key players for Graham are WR Dillan Fulford, DB Hubbell Allen, LB Ethan Hiser and RB Cameron Bailey. Melissa is the only 2A school in this pool. This will be their 3rd consecutive appearance. They will be led by RB Cody Morgan and WR Brodie Russell. Case will lead Graham to the top of the standings.
Mike’s Picks: 1. Graham 2. Cameron Yoe 3. Melissa 4. Edna

Breaking down high school football playoff scenarios In Waco Area
November 6, 2008
When it gets to Week 10 of the high school football season, there’s always one question that comes up above all others — who’s going to be in the playoffs?
Well, in some cases, it’s real simple. Take a quick look at the standings and everything makes since. In others, you can look at the standings long enough that everything seems possible — except finding an answer.
In those districts, the point differential makes all the difference, and sometimes — if that doesn’t decide it — a quick flip of a coin will determine whether a team goes to the postseason or home.
In any case, below is a list of potential playoff scenarios that could play out based on Friday night’s results (district records of teams still in playoff contention in parentheses).
District 16-4A: Midway (6-0) can finish an undefeated run through district play with a road win over Waxahachie (5-1) on Friday. Waxahachie and Ennis (5-1) have also secured playoff spots. The fourth and final spot has yet to be decided, but Waco High has the inside track.
If Midlothian (2-4) beats Waco High and Corsicana (2-4) beats Cleburne, Waco High (3-3), Corsicana and Midlothian will end up in a three-way tie.
This district uses point differential with an 18-point cap to break three-way ties, and Midlothian would need to meet the cap against Waco High on Friday to throw the race to a coin flip. A Waco High win or loss by less than 18 gives the Lions the fourth spot and Division I (big school) berth along with Midway. Ennis and Waxahachie would be the Division II (small school) teams.
District 12-5A: A Copperas Cove (5-1) win over 1-8 Harker Heights gives the Bulldawgs the outright district championship. Cove will be the No. 1 small-school team.
After that it gets hairy.
There’s the potential for a four-way tie for second between Temple (4-2), Ellison (4-2), A&M Consolidated (3-3) and Shoemaker (3-3). Even more fun, they all play each other this week — four teams competing for three playoff spots.
Ellison is in with a win over A&M Consolidated, out with a loss. A&M Consolidated is in with a win or Shoemaker loss to Temple. Shoemaker is in with a win over Temple or Ellison loss to A&M Consolidated. Temple is in with a win over Shoemaker, an A&M Consolidated win over Ellison or Ellison win by seven or fewer points.
District 7-3A: China Spring (4-0) has clinched a playoff spot and would finish an undefeated season with a win over Gatesville (2-2). Glen Rose (3-1) needs a win over Hillsboro to secure second place.
West needs a win over 0-9 Whitney or a Gatesville loss to China Spring. Gatesville needs to upset China Spring and get a Whitney upset over West (2-2). Should Gatesville get both, it would go Division I, with China Spring and Glen Rose as Division II participants. Any other scenario puts China Spring in Division I and Glen Rose and West in Division II.
District 19-3A: La Vega (4-0) needs a win over Lorena (2-2) on Friday to finish undefeated in district play. Mexia (3-1) is in second and has clinched a playoff spot.
The Blackcats will hold onto second place if they beat Groesbeck (2-2). If they lose to the Goats and Lorena falls to La Vega, Groesbeck would be second and Mexia third. La Vega would be big school, Groesbeck and Mexia small.
If Groesbeck falls to Mexia, La Vega beats Lorena and Robinson (1-3) beats Connally, it’s a three-way tie for third. Robinson is the beneficiary here, with a point-differential edge on Groesbeck and Lorena. But if Lorena, Groesbeck and Robinson all lose, Lorena gets in based on its head-to-head win over Groesbeck.
If Lorena beats La Vega and Groesbeck beats Mexia, it becomes a three-way tie for second and goes to a point differential with a 14 cap. In that case, if Mexia loses by less than 13 points, it stays second. If Groesbeck wins and covers the 13 points, it takes second and the top Division II spot, while Mexia is the second small school.
District 20-3A: Palestine Westwood (4-0) and Crockett (3-1) have locked down the No. 1 and 2 spots, respectively, and will be the Division II teams. The winner of Friday’s game between Athens (2-2) and Brownsboro (1-3) will be the Division I representative.
District 24-3A: Navasota (5-0) has clinched a share of the district title and the Division I spot. A Cameron (4-1) win over Caldwell (3-2) would put the Yoemen in second and give them the No. 1 spot in Division II.
If Caldwell bumps off Cameron and Rockdale (3-2) beats Taylor, it’s a three-way tie for second. Caldwell would need to beat Cameron by 14 or more to get in. Anything less, and it’s Cameron and Rockdale, with the Tigers as the No. 2 small school.
District 16-2A: Troy (6-0) and McGregor (5-1) face off Friday with the district title on the line. Regardless of which team wins, Troy will be the big school with McGregor as the top small school.
Crawford (4-2) needs to beat Moody to claim the other Division II spot, while Hamilton (4-2) needs to beat Hico and have Moody upset Crawford.
District 20-2A: Franklin (4-0), which has clinched a playoff berth as one of the small-school teams, faces a Teague (3-1) team that will be the district’s big school.
Hearne (2-2) travels to Rosebud-Lott (2-2), with the winner claiming the final Division II berth.
District 21-1A: Everything’s set here. Itasca (5-0) is the district champion and top Division II school. Axtell (4-1) will be the Division I team and faces Dawson (4-1), the No. 2 small school, for second place in the district.
District 22-1A: Mart (4-0) is the district champion, while Bremond (3-1) is second.
Lovelady (2-2) travels to face Normangee (2-2), with the winner taking the final playoff spot. If Lovelady wins, it’s the big school, while Mart and Bremond go small. If Normangee wins, it’s the No. 2 small school behind Bremond, and Mart goes Division I.
District 25-1A: Goldthwaite (4-0) will be the Division I team and faces Meridian (3-1), with the winner claiming the district title. If Meridian loses and Bosqueville and Chilton both win, there will be a three-way tie for second between those schools. The point differential is a wash, so it would go to a coin flip, with the “odd man” taking second place. It would then go to the head-to-head matchup between the two remaining teams to determine third.
The two schools that come out of the coin flip will go Division II.
TAPPS Div. 3, Dist. 3: Reicher (2-0) is the district champion.
TAPPS Div. 3, Dist. 3: Texas Christian Academy (0-4) has been eliminated from playoff contention. Hallettsville Sacred Heart (4-0) is the district champion.
Six-man Div. 1, Dist. 13: Abbott (5-0) is the district champion. Milford (4-1) plays at Kopperl (3-2) for the other playoff berth.
Six-man Div. 1, Dist. 14: Trinidad (4-0) is the district champion. Penelope (3-1) hosts Oakwood (3-1) for the other playoff berth.
Six-man Div. 2, Dist. 14: Star (3-0) will host Sidney (3-0) for the district championship. Both teams are in the playoffs.
Six-man Div. 2, Dist. 15: Morgan (2-1) travels to Walnut Springs (3-0), hoping to make it a three-way tie for the district title between those two and Laird Hill Leveretts Chapel (3-1). A Walnut Springs win sends it and Leveretts Chapel to the playoffs.
Six-man TAPPS Div. 2, Dist. 2: Parkview Christian has been eliminated. Duncanville ChristWay (3-0) is the district champion
